It’s France. I was in the town of St Gervais Les Bains. It does look a lot like Switzerland though.

💚

That area looks incredible aswell, I really want to go to Nepal so may add a visit to northern India whilst I’m close.

@@FroggoCadoFR The Alps are awesome to see in person, definitely put it on your bucket list of things to do 👍🏼

@@shelbybarrett7648 😂 that’s one reason I like sharing my adventures, so people can enjoy our beautiful planet from the comfort of their home 😎

@@malorysommers54 the mountains in the Alps are incredible 🏔️😎

@@danielmaluenda9731 it really is 😎

@@JojohnWick That would of been an incredible sight to see

@@hikebytes it was an incredible little day hike, I loved watching the seals playing in the waves 😎

They are fun to watch ! We have alot in Laguna Beach Ca . They are very curious ! Some snorkelers have been lucky enough to swim up close with them!

@hikebytes on this hike we saw a boat arrive and a couple of people got out and were taking selfies with the seals. The seals must be used to it because they were swimming next to them, but I’m not sure I agree with it.

Absolutely 👍🏼 I’m doing a lot of just standing still and looking at the mountains in awe 😜

Also do as much hiking when you can. At 69 yo I started dealing with the osteoarthritis in my right hip. Thank God I can walk, but jaunts in the mountains are a thing of the past.😮

@@mangafq8 Definitely 👍🏼 it’s one of the reasons I’m living this way at the moment. Not pursuing a career and just doing a bit of work when I need to top up the savings. I want to do these physically demanding adventures when I’m fit enough to do them. Not when I retire.

@RyansNextAdventure you are right. It makes no sense to wait till one is retired to live life!

@RyansNextAdventure I'm not retired yet actually. But still enjoying the ride!☺️

@@anetti53 I took this video at 2300m elevation looking over the Chamonix valley at Mont Blanc.

@@november151956 something I may do in the future.

@@desireelevin8822 😂 I could of set the camera up and done the whole routine 😂

@@desireelevin8822 it’s incredible to think there are beautiful mountains under the oceans. A whole world tucked away under the waves.

That’s brilliant, I really enjoyed that. Absolutely, leave no trace. I even ruffle the grass where my tent has been so there’s no trace of a tent being there. Thank you for your message 👍🏼

@@RyansNextAdventure My pleasure! I am enjoying your hike. I also think Di is a great hiking partner. Such spirit!

@@Randall974 Glad you’re enjoying our hike, she is a great hiking partner and keeps me well fed with her little stove 😊

Just looked them up, they look amazing. I will have to plan an adventure to go see them 😎👍🏼

@@november151956 😂 it is hard to keep an eye on the trail when these views are incredible. But I do just stop and admire the views. Trail running isn’t about pace, happy to keep stopping and soak in the scenery 😊

You are certainly seeing and experiencing the world from a different perspective. So happy you can share it with all of us..

@@WiolettaSkieresz-l9v will do 👍🏼 I’m always very careful when trail running in the mountains.

@@dianel8001 that’s ok, you can watch this short and enjoy the views from your chair 😂

Can’t beat big mountain views whilst on a trail run

@@RyansNextAdventure no you really can’t. Loving this content. Looking forward to more! Just posted a video myself this morning. Check it out if you have time. Ran 7 miles before my 12 hour shift. Tired but fulfilled. 😃

Can’t beat a good waterfall

Hopefully not 😅 it’ll probably happen trying to film these shorts 😂

You should be here running around in the mountains too

@@Fostering-adventure cheers man, much appreciated 👍🏼 good luck with your channel journey.

@@RyansNextAdventure likewise! Was watching this years UTMB after my run this morning. It’s a long term goal for me but I would love to be a part of something that amazing. Got a half-marathon trail race coming up in October here in the states. Just finished my first 50k this year. Big dreams to do some big races. Good luck with your trail running also!

@@Fostering-adventure that’s awesome, congrats on your first 50k. I’m slowly getting back into ultra running. I did a lot a few years ago and then focused on long distance hiking for a few years. It was amazing to watch UTMB this year in Chamonix, the atmosphere was incredible. I’m very much looking at and planning my way to maybe run UTMB in a few years. It would be an awesome achievement to just get to the start line. Good luck with your training, I also have an ultra in December I’m currently training for, a 37 miler along the south coast of England.

@@RyansNextAdventure impressive work!

@@HorizonTreks it was an amazing hike, it takes you for a tour of the Beacons. Beautiful 😊

@@robert44467 glad it is helpful 👍🏼 are you planning on hiking the Hexatrek in the future or a different trail?

@@RyansNextAdventure yes plan to do the hexatrek with some people I did TA with last year , it looks awesome

@@robert44467 that’s amazing, it is epic. You will love it, it’s tough but being immersed in the Alps and Pyrenees is awesome. Good luck with your preparations

@@desireelevin8822 why thank you 😊

@@timoakley277 it’s super human that the winners of UTMB get under 20 hours!!

@@dianel8001 she wasn’t happy at the end 😂

@@RyansNextAdventure lol, definitely not 🤣

@@dianel8001 it was awesome 😎

@@JohanaGamboa-f5u it was a shame, but not much he can do if he is injured. I’m sure he will be back next year to conquer the mountains 💪🏼

@@JOsc4-v there is a definite technique to running with poles. On the first climb of UTMB pretty much everyone had poles out, even all the pros. It does take a lot of pressure of the legs and helps prevent fatigue. With an event as long as UTMB you want to protect the legs for as long as possible. I’ve never run with poles either as they are only necessary for the big climbing runs (and the running poles are expensive) but plan to in the future as I get back to ultra running

@@RyansNextAdventure I need to try, would like to do UTS next year then Dragons back year after. Leo poles look good. I’m usually using the hands on thighs technique ha How did you find it at UTMB? Were you spectating? Atmosphere looks unreal.

​@@JOsc4-vhands on thighs is good but I noticed it wears out my lower back quite a lot

@@JOsc4-v just here to watch it, the atmosphere is incredible. The finish line always looks big on tv, but it is very small in person with everyone cramped in. It adds to the atmosphere. Everyone gets cheered through Chamonix and across the line like they are superstars, even the ones that are towards the back amd have missed cut off. Incredible experience.

@@JOsc4-v wow, I’ve just looked up the dragons back race, looks mental. It goes over crib goch. What a race. I assume if you’re planning that then you will be doing the full distance UTS. I’ve had a few years off from ultra running and been doing a lot of long distance hiking, but getting back to the ultras now. Hopefully build back up to a 100 miler. But the mountain ultras is what I want to do. Just need to keep training the elevation. Goodluck with your winter training

It’s a shame he dropped out of the race this year, so many favourites dropped it was incredible, but you have to listen to your body. Jim will be back 💪🏼😎

Shows how much of an effort like Western states is, was hoping for Jim or Tom Evan’s to get the win. Also shows how tough a double for WS and UTMB is. Think Killian is the only male to achieve it in 2010 or 11.

@@JOsc4-v the double is so tough, especially as the events are so close together. Katie Schide achieved the double female win, and completed utmb in a record female time aswell which is even more impressive.

@@RyansNextAdventure yeah unreal from katie. Didn’t realise she did the double. Courtney won Hardrock, WS and UTMB last year, I think.

@@JOsc4-v yeah she was the first person ever to win all 3 of those events in 1 year. Incredible, not sure that will get beaten in a long time. Maybe kilian could do it if he wanted to, but he is off climbing mountains.

Thank you, luckily I hiked the whole trail before the war started. Israel is a beautiful country 💚

You’re welcome

We were really lucky as the lady we were dog sitting for in Plettenburg Bay gave us a couple to use for the Otter Trail. My bag was water proof and the water came up to my waist, so I managed to keep my backpack on my back whilst crossing. They are just really big plastic bags, so may be able to buy them at any hardware store or online is probably better.

I do what makes me happy, and the mountains make me happy ☺️💚⛰️

@@dianel8001 😎⛰️

It is bloody beautiful 💚😜

I’m glad you’re enjoying my Hexatrek vlogs Clara, appreciate the feedback. It was quite the adventure. The only social media I do is my RUclips channel and I upload all my activities (and some photos and videos sometimes) onto my Strava account. You will have to pop back here every now and again to see what I’m up to 😊
